JBL Boombox Teardown

Tip: It can be easier if you rest the speaker against the floor and make it turn.

Turn the side wavy rings counterwise.

Once you get the ring, we can access the screws that are underneath, that hold the handle to the main body.

Without fear, but carefully, we pull form the plastics rings towards the speaker sides, until they´ll get out.

When they have left their position, we can pull from the handle upwards and to one side to get the opposite side.

Underneath, introduce a slim opening pick (screwdriver, knife...) in the line of union that exist between the tow halfs of the cloth bezel.

Lift/remove the remaining half of the rear part of the speaker to fit the screws (2 on each side)

Remove this screws

Once you get the screw that holds the cloth, we open it as we open a book.

Tip: It looks like it is going to break but it is not like that, it works as a spring and it can be opened without problem.

Loosen the screws that hold the rubbers with the tweets.

Crefully we lift the lids with the tweets.

We unplug the connectors form the board.

Tip: The connectors are sealed with glue. Pull carefully. I recommend to break first that glue in any way before removing the connector.

Note: I recommend to separate the tweets when you get them out, due they have cables with different lengths.

Once you remove the tweets, we can remove the sub-woofers. To do this we loosen the 8 screws that holds each sub-woofer.

Note: I recommend to separate them, due they hace cables with different lengths.
